I have a 4/6ish drop on my 4x4 no problems with drivetrain binding so far. I am using djm arms and 2wd struts, the belltech struts didn't work for some reason. The lowest you can go up front would be 4-5" with djm arms due to cv axle clearence with the strut I barely clear them with my drop.
What DJM arms did you go with? I've looked on the site before and the only ones I find are for 2wd and say to NOT use on 4wd.
So, I am wondering what would happen if I used the crown springs and 2wd struts? I've heard the 2wd struts lower another inch over the 4x4 ones. Looking at the strut specs, that looks about right.
Here is a look at how the front cv axle angle looks

I really appreciate this picture but I'm not sure I will feel comfortable with this angle. I definitely plan on pushing the envelope, with the entire setup. My goal on race fuel is to be able to stay in front of a C7 ZO6 with a tune. I believe I'll need in the neighborhood of 800whp. I plan on doing whatever it takes to make this truck meet and surpass my goals and expectations. It's not going to be easy or cheap but being a gen 2 lightning guy from way back, I know it's more fun to do it in a truck.

Yes they do unfortunately I don't have any side by side pics of the struts but 2wd struts will give you a lower ride height. Also if your using DJM arms the belltech struts won't work don't waste your money like I did.

I will be finding that limit very soon since I should be installing my cj setup with a 200 shot for now before i go twins. I'm sure it will take it just fine so far I have no binding even on hard launches and not all power goes to the front anyways, also angle does look a little aggressive but so does the angle on high lift trucks except of course the angle is in the opposite direction.
